22 Proceedings of Indiana Academy of Science 



Far be it from us to admit that all of the great men left the county, 

 they are here in countless numbers, but modesty prevents us from 

 mentioning any names. 



There is one name that I have not dwelt upon whom we are proud 

 to honor. It is Amos W. Butler, naturalist, scientist, ornithologist, and 

 for 25 years the most efficient Secretary of the Board of State Charities. 

 Dr. Butler has an international reputation along the lines of his work. 

 We are delighted to have him with us this evening.
